Hey folks,
For your duplex outlets and switch boxes there are available plastic extension inserts to make room for thicker walls without having to move the boxes. I prefer the plastic ones because they are easier to install, especially after the fact, and they are non-conductive both electrically and thermally. You just need longer screws for the devices. My experience with the metal ones are they are electrically dangerous, so I wrap the devices with electrical tape to cover the termination screws.
